Two updates:
First, thanks to the folks at Public Opinion Quarterly and Oxford University Press who graciously opened up links to non-subscribers on four articles I cited last week on the use of internal polling by presidents since Kennedy:
- Lawrence Jacobs and Robert Shapiro. 1995. "The Rise of Presidential Polling: The Nixon White House in Historical Perspective." 59:163-195.
- Diane Heath. 1998. "Staffing the White House Public Opinion Apparatus: 1969-1988." 62: 165-189.
- Shoon Kathleen Murray and Peter Howard. 2002. "Variation in White House Polling Operations: Carter to Clinton." 66:527-558.
- Kathryn Dunn Tenpas and James A. McCann, "An Analysis of Presidential Polling Expenditures, 1977–2002." 71(3):349-366.
